Venus Williams advances at Olympics Knoxville News Sentinel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Venus Williams began her bid for a record fourth gold medal in Olympic tennis Monday by beating Sara Errani of Italy, 6-3, 6-1.
It was an impressive showing by Williams, who is unseeded and drew a tough first-round foe. Errani has won four titles this year, was the runner-up at the French Open and is ranked a career-high No. 9.
Williams was diagnosed last year with an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but she nonetheless began 2012 determined to make the Olympics for the fourth time. She won the gold medal in singles at the 2000 Games and teamed with sister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Serena, to take the gold in doubles in 2000 and 2008.
Because her opening match was delayed a day by rain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Williams will have to play six consecutive days if she reaches Saturday's final.
Relegated to cozy Court 2 for the first round, Williams served well against Errani and moved forward aggressively,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winning 19 points at the net. When Errani double-faulted on match point, Williams trotted to the net with a grin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then shook her fist with glee as spectators chanted "U-S-A! U-S-A!"
Roddick converted only two of 13 break-point chances but dominated with his serve, as often happens at Wimbledon, where he's a three-time runner-up.
"I served really well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "I would have liked to have converted more break points. But I got a couple and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thankfully,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's all I needed."
The Olympic match, delayed a day by rain, was Roddick's first in eight years. He lost in the third round at the 2004 Games and skipped Beijing in 2008.
As a price for being unseeded, he'll face a daunting challenge in the second round: Novak Djokovic, the 2011 Wimbledon champion.
"The guy has been the best player in the world over the last couple of years," Roddick said. "It's going to be tough. But the situation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we've both been through it a million times. I'm going to have to serve well and take some chances on returns."
Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus defeated Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania on Centre Court, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
Lleyton Hewitt of Australian and Nikolay Davydenko of Russia, both three-time Olympians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], won their opening matches. No. 9-seeded Juan Monaco of Argentina, No. 13 Marin Cilic of Croatia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], No. 16 Richard Gasquet of France and big-serving Milos Raonic of Canada also advanced.
American Varvara Lepchenko eliminated Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay 7-5, 6-7 (6),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 6-2. Their match was tied after two sets when suspended Sunday because of rain.
Roddick, a dedicated Davis Cup player for the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], took Court 2 on a sunny morning looking particularly patriotic. He wore a blue shirt, white shorts and stars-and-stripes shoes.
"Posh sneakers, Andy," shouted a spectator with a British accent.
He lost only nine points in 11 service games, and the first break point came on the final shot of the opening set, which put him ahead to stay.
Roddick won with more than just his serve, hitting several improbable shots, including a back-to-the-net lob to help win one point,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a backhand as he did a belly flop behind the baseline.
